Frequently Asked Questions

How is sales commission calculated?

Commission = Sales Amount × Commission Rate. For example, $10,000 in sales at 5% commission = $500 earned.

What is tiered commission?

Tiered commission applies different rates to different portions of sales. For example, 5% on the first $10K, 7% on the next $20K, 10% above $30K.

What is a typical commission rate?

Rates vary widely: retail 1-5%, SaaS 10-20%, real estate 2-6%, insurance 10-25%. It depends on industry, product, and experience.

What is the difference between commission and bonus?

Commission is typically a percentage of sales revenue. A bonus is a fixed amount based on hitting targets or KPIs.

How do I calculate commission with a base salary?

Total earnings = Base salary + (Sales × Commission rate). For example, $50K base + ($200K × 10%) = $70K total.

Can commission be negative?

In most structures, commission is zero if there are no sales. Some draw-against-commission structures can create clawback situations.

What is a draw against commission?

A draw is an advance on future commissions. You receive a guaranteed minimum, and commissions earned first pay back the draw amount.
